Immersive Technologies simulation based training is a common sight in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and their footprint will continue to grow when the newest mine site, Roy Hill, opens in 2015. The project is expected to produce 55 million tonne per annum making it Australia's fourth biggest iron ore producer.

Roy Hill is an attractive option for employment with more than 5,000 expressions of interest or direct applications reported since the start of 2014.

“Roy Hill is a landmark mining project with a clear strategy to use technology to drive a competitive advantage. They have committed to ensure their employees will have the opportunity to develop and enhance their skills and we’re pleased our simulation based training solutions will be a part of this effort,” says David Anderson, Executive Vice President Sales and Support at Immersive Technologies.

Immersive Technologies’ simulation based training solutions are in place at over 250 mine sites around the world including 12 of the top 15 iron ore producing countries.

Roy Hill has invested in multiple PRO3-B Advanced Equipment Simulators for haul trucks, excavators, dozers and wheel loaders from Immersive Technologies along with the simulator briefing, debriefing and live session training tool, SimMentor, as part of their training program for equipment operators.
